Good-bye Summer

Well, school starts in a couple of days, so we tried to fit in a few last minute summer things. We made a couple of stops at Orange Leaf.

Morgan made sure that Friend was well-fed.

We visited the East Idaho Aquarium for the first time. It was a really fun, hands-on place. The kids all tried out the virtual reality glasses.





  And had fun touching some of the fish.




Chloe has been debating for months about what kind of hammock to get for her birthday (which was in March). Fortunately, the one she chose is great!


Shawn and Amy's family came for a visit. On Monday night we had a barbecue/FHE at the Anderson's house, with an intense game of Duck, Duck, Goose!




Tuesday, Morgan and I joined the two families for a hike to Darby Wind Caves. I was definitely the weakest link on the hike. Shawn kindly stayed back and talked with me for most of the time as I lagged behind.



 Caleb started cross-country practice at the high school. He survived the All-Night run fundraiser and had his first meet at Blackfoot on Friday. It was a hot, smoky day but he had fun! No idea what his time was. We are excited for him to start high school and happy Kory will be close by teaching at the seminary.

    It was fun to see you guys! The kids were just commenting that you're pretty sneaky taking pictures.

Pie Face

Chloe had her tenth birthday and she asked for the game Pie Face. Yep, you've seen it. The one where everyone takes turns getting whipped cream in the face. Here are some precious moments. Chloe also got a little fort-making kit for her birthday, so we've had these structures in the family room for a few weeks now.

Kory's Story

I just wanted to record this for our family history. When Kory and I were engaged, we went to Salt Lake to talk with someone at CES to see about re-applying to teach seminary. At the time, they indicated that he could re-apply, but they didn't seem positive about the likelihood of him getting re-hired. At that time, we decided not to pursue teaching again. Later that year, CES announced that there was no longer any block on people who had been divorced teaching seminary. Again, we talked with some people, but still felt that the chances of him getting hired were not good, because he would not be able to move if necessary, which is usually the case with new hires.  In Fall of 2015, Kory had a strong impression to check with the pre-service director and see what he would need to do to try teaching again. We still knew that the chances were not great, but he felt that he should pursue it. He began attending the class for pre-service seminary teachers, and was assigned to student te

April 2023

  April 2023 On April 1 and 2 we chilled and watched General Conference. On the first, we got a new cat to replace Todd. This cat’s name is Taco, she is a girl, and she’s a tortoiseshell calico. She and Binx have taken quite a while to warm up to each other, but I think we’ll get there. She is cuddly like Todd, so we all like that.  On April 4 I watched Season 3 of The Mandalorian with my dad. On the 5 th , Kory and I took Austin and Leah to the Bee’s Knees for a birthday dinner. They have really great food there and it was fun to visit.  On April 6, we had BYUI Graduation. It was fun to be there, since I’ve missed the past year due to my cancer. On the 7 th , Kory, me, and Caleb babysat for Austin and Leah. It was fun putting the kids to bed and singing with them. Stevie loves the song “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” so we sang that a bunch. On April 8, Kory and I went on a little date. We drove up to Driggs and had dinner at O’ Rourkes and then stopped and visited with my parents on t
